With the last update, Android also started limiting apps’ access to photos on a per-photo basis. Not even Google Lens (which I use to copy text from slides) can see all my photos. (Don’t get me wrong, though: I’m not naive enough to believe Google can’t see my photos at all.)

Gestrid,

Like a watch that doesn’t tell time.

Gestrid,

Sort of. I don’t remember the specifics, but it used to be that some apps completely unrelated to phone calls had to request access to make phone calls because of some stuff they needed that Google only allowed them access to if they had the phone call permission.

I believe Google has since changed it so most of that stuff is now a separate permission not related to phone calls, so you don’t see it as often now. It can still happen with older apps, though.

Gestrid,

Neither can the average American mind, to be honest. I’ve never seen a toilet full enough to do that.

Gestrid,

The Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse is public domain. (Steamboat Willie is the name of the episode the design was featured in.)

Gestrid,

The only thing Linux costs is your soul because you will be configuring and fiddling with it for all eternity.

super dude can’t do anything super or else society will now expect him to be Superman

Reminds me of a scene in My Adventures With Superman where Clark literally cannot go to sleep because he can’t stop hearing people needing help (thanks to his super-hearing). He stays awake the whole night helping people.

Gestrid,

people unsatisfied

This describes me seeing my Astro Boy 2003 English dub torrent 99.98% complete a few weeks ago.n

No, it shows me which files aren’t complete. It’s a tiny bit of the final episode and a .sfv file that was supposed to check for file integrity. So it’s not a complete loss, but it’s still disappointing.

Gestrid,

Immune system to the infection: “If I die, I’m taking you with me!”

Gestrid,

I have no idea why, but your comment just randomly reminded me of this song from my childhood.

Gestrid,

What is that?

Gestrid, (edited )

*30 minutes to two hours

No way is my body not rejecting that immediately.

Gestrid,

They’re not the only one filled with rage.

Gestrid,

My issue with video game subtitles is actually the opposite problem. The subtitles have finished appearing, but the voiced line is still going. It’s especially bad when you’re playing in an audio language you can’t understand. (Some Japanese video games still don’t have English voice acting. Yakuza, for example, only recently started doing English voice acting.)

Gestrid,

it’s an anime trope for old people to be pervs

Weirdly enough, I just learned in my Developmental Psychology class recently that there’s a very surprising amount of sex between old people going on in nursing homes. Some of the students who’d actually worked in nursing homes before even confirmed it. So the trope may not be as unfounded as we might think.

Not saying old people hitting on kids is okay. It’s freaking weird and gross. Just stating an interesting fact.

Gestrid,

No, I moreso meant that older people having sexual desires is surprisingly common.

Gestrid,

Just use the same cast for both movies!

Gestrid,

Honestly, I’d probably use Tor more if I knew which sites on the dark web were “safe”.

Basically, I know how to use Tor, but I have no idea where to begin with it.

Gestrid,

If there is, I’d like to know.

Gestrid,

I talk like that when I’m alone on speakerphone. Especially if I need to look something up at the same time.

Gestrid,

Some of them do.

In any case, typically, the ones that aren’t occupied are always slightly ajar, so there’s no need for an “occupied” indicator.

Gestrid,

It probably won’t always work, but pressing 0 is usually a “hidden” option that’ll connect you to a human. It used to be used to connect people to an operator, and many companies still use it that way, even if they don’t advertise it.

Gestrid,

I ended up “under-doing” it, got the flu as a result, and ended up having three zero days in a row followed by three bare minimum days.

Gestrid,

I remember when I had a weak strain of COVID (barely any symptoms except for achiness all over, slight stuffiness, brain fog, and trouble getting enough oxygen). Even without doing anything, I was tired enough at the end of the day to sleep about 9-10 hours straight.

I wouldn’t want to have a stronger strain, and I hope you get better soon.
